4.

5. Polly Wales:London based jewelry designer Polly Walesis someone that has been on my radar for a few years.Jaw-dropping designs like nothing I have ever seen before.Unlike traditional jewelers who set their stones after casting the metal forms,Wales casts the gemstones along with the gold which results in organic,jewel encrusted pieces that look like they were formed naturally within the earth's core.Just gorgeous.
